Valentine's Day Celebration. Part II

As we promised here is the 2nd part of our large collection of handmade and vintage items!
Today we'll talk about table decoration and will share some nice ideas how to make the Valentine's Day dinner special and unforgetable.

#1 First of all we would choose a table cloth. In our honest opinion the best variant for a romantic dinner is white or light grey table cloth made of natural fabric such as this lovely linen table cloth from LinenHomeShop

#2 Next step is to find nice plates and dishes. As an example we offer these cute small handmade ceramic bowls with birds by karoArt! Adorable!

#3 We are sure your boyfriend or husband will come with flowers. Guess what we should put on the table next? A vase! We picked 3 absolutely different vases.

• Amaizing vintage vase from 1970s in vintagethink

• One more breathtaking vintage vase but this one is from 1950s and made of murano glass in TheSapphireGypsy vintage shop.

• A VERY unusual wooden vase by Myflowermeadow

#4 Maybe you would like to choose flowers yourself. Then we have some pretty ideas :)

• Not to upset your man (if he comes with flowers and you already have the bouquet) you can hang a pastel flower photo on the wall near the table :) We found this delightful bouquet in HelenMPhotography Etsy shop where you may check over hundred other awesome photos!

• For those who loves minimalist style we offer these felt flowers by Fairyfolk . They are so cool that we want to touch them right now!! <3

• And one more amazing bouquet! It consists of 3 spirally twisted willow wickers and lavender color wool, and is decorated with jute and linen. Find it in mellsva home decor shop!

• And finally if you love to make bouquets yourself you may get some nice paper flowers here - in FlowerDecoration shop!

#5 Decorate your table with original and unusual things!

• What are you going to drink? We would take our favorite wine. One of a kind handmade wooden bottle rack "Bicycle" will not only decorate your romantic dinner, it also can be an original gift for you man! Find this unique bottle holder in our LekaArt Etsy shop.

• Valentine's Day hanging birds by PolaLab are so touching and cute. We bet they will create natural and loving atmosphere!

• One more textile item - super cute and mimimi sheep toy!! It's made by MiracleInspiration from Belarus! They have more amazing textile toys (cats, reindeer, hears) in their lovely shop!

• Aaaaand the handcrochet NEST by frenchfelt! Just because we simply like it! Put anything you want there and enjoy how great it looks!

#6 Give final touches to your romantic table - put candles!

• This is unique decoupaged candle holder in shades of white and red by HandmadeDecoupage. It creates vintage, retro looking effect. We love the combination of different materials!

• We've never met anything more romantic than these ceramic candle holders by wapa . Brilliant idea, brilliant work!

• Very interesting item hand painted by LITdecor ! This lantern was inspired by Moroccan decor details and henna patterns. The lantern can withstand outdoor conditions - stands up great to wind and rain. Really indispensable thing for your country house :)

• Beautiful spring candle holders by NevenaArtGlass . Unique form and Sakura Cherry Blossom design make these home accessories look fresh and charming!

The end of Part II. Next time we'll tell you how to decorate a romantic night ;) Believe us, it would be very interesting!
We are always grateful for your feedbacks and wished for the future collections!

Always yours,

New wooden panel that will suit every interior!

Dear followers and guests!

It's Viktoria and I would like to introduce you my new hand painted wooden panel "Chocolate Blossom". This round-shaped panel is flat but the painting is made in point-to-point technique with acrylic relief outline paints. These paints create the volume of the painting. I used earth colors - brown, bronzed and golden colors, olive, yellow and white colors. This color combination is very calm and harmonious and will suit almost every interior.

Diameter of the panel "Chocolate Blossom" - 8'' (20 cm).
Materials: wooden base, acrylic paints, acrylic varnish.
I also add a hanger on the opposite side of the item, so you may hang it on wall. :)
